    • Solo Monk

    Solo Monk is a live album by the great jazz musician Thelonious Monk. It was recorded in 1964-65 and released for Columbia Records. As the title suggests, the album is composed entirely of Monk’s solo piano work. The sound of Thelonious Monk as a solo pianist is unique and memorable– his style, which is singular in its use of rhythm and space, acquires a delicate feel to it when experienced in isolation. The album contains the customary mix of Monk originals and standards– Monk’s stride influences shine through a number of the standards, with great takes of “Dinah” and “I’m Confessin’ (That I Love You)”. These are contrasted well by “I Surrender, Dear” or the unusually fractured “I Should Care”. It also includes two tracks never recorded before– “North of the Sunset” and “Monk’s Point”.
